MSDS Offline for Fall Closeout
The MSDS will be offline beginning Monday, December 1 to perform closeout of the Fall 2025 General Collection. We anticipate closeout will take approximately three business days. The application will reopen when processing is complete.

New MSDS Feature: Data Quality Report

CEPI is excited to share that we are unveiling a new Data Quality Report feature in MSDS. Beginning this 2025-26 school year, your district will be able to run and view your own Early Childhood data quality reports in MSDS instead of receiving the reports via email.

For more information, please view the Data Quality Report memo posted in the Oct. 15 CEPI Announcements.
